Kansas City Chiefs Dexter McCluster: A Man of Many Trades, A Master of None

By: David Abeyta

Back when I first started out on my school’s speech and debate team, my coach told me to pick two events (out of many I could have chosen) in which to specialize. He wasn’t doing that to be mean or to hold us back from trying new things, he just wanted us to focus our [...]

By: DanFlaherty

You can bet on most anything in Las Vegas and who will win the NFL rushing title is no different. The odds are on the board for running backs, with fifteen considered to be reasonable enough shots to merit a number of 25-1 or less. Jamaal Charles of the Kansas City Chiefs is one of [...]

By: DanFlaherty

The career of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Brady Quinn has been in a downward slide since about September 2006. It was then that Quinn, the highly regarded senior quarterback for Notre Dame and a Heisman Trophy candidate, took the field for a home game against Michigan.

Kansas City Chiefs Should Explore Avenues Leading to WR Wes Welker

By: David Abeyta

People love to say it. “This guy reminds me of [New England Patriots WR] Wes Welker” and “that guy is like a poor man’s Welker.” For many years, Welker has been a model WR and has served as the gold standard for teams training players at that position. Now imagine if a team that has [...]

The Kansas City Chiefs Work To Improve Woeful 2011 Red-Zone Play

By: DanFlaherty

Two developments that were technically unrelated took place this week for the Kansas City Chiefs, although each ties in to a longer-term problem the team must fix if it wants to reach its potential in the coming NFL season.

The Kansas City Chiefs Have Depth Concerns In The Secondary

By: DanFlaherty

The Kansas City Chiefs dodged a bullet when cornerback Brandon Flowers’ foot injury proved to be nothing serious, but the coaching staff is very aware that it pointed to a problem the team has, and that’s depth in the secondary. Kansas City brought nineteen defensive backs to St. Joseph’s for training camp, more than any [...]

Kansas City Chiefs Concrete QB Matt Cassel a Component of Cause for Concern

By: David Abeyta

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees said something interesting recently. He said, in reference to his backup quarterback, Chase Daniel, that if a backup quarterback isn’t constantly visualizing himself as the starter, he doesn’t belong in the NFL. I agree with that, wholeheartedly. Backup quarterbacks are some of the most valuable players to have around. [...]

Kansas City Chiefs’ Coaches Happy With LB Jovan Belcher

By: DanFlaherty

Kansas City Chiefs’ inside linebacker Jovan Belcher isn’t the big name on defense for his team. He’s not the stud first-round pick like Dontari Poe, he’s not the havoc-wreaking outside linebacker like Tamba Hali. He’s not the Pro Bowler back from injury that Eric Berry is, nor is he the cover corner that Brandon Flowers [...]
